Pero el registro de sysfs precede a la inicializaci\u00f3n de rs->lock, por lo que es posible cambiar rs->interval a un valor distinto de cero a trav\u00e9s de la interfaz msg_ratelimit_interval_ms de sysfs mientras rs->lock no est\u00e1 inicializado, y luego una llamada a ext4_msg desencadena el problema al accediendo a un rs->lock no inicializado. Por lo tanto, registre sysfs despu\u00e9s de que se completen todas las inicializaciones para evitar este tipo de problemas."}], "id": "CVE-2024-40998", "lastModified": "2025-09-25T19:43:21.163", "metrics": {"cvssMetricV31": [{"cvssData": {"attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackVector": "LOCAL", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "baseScore": 5.5, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H", "version": "3.1"}, "exploitabilityScore": 1.8, "impactScore": 3.6, "source": "nvd@nist.gov", "type": "Primary"}]}, "published": "2024-07-12T13:15:20.857", "references": [{"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/23afcd52af06880c6c913a0ad99022b8937b575c"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/645267906944a9aeec9d5c56ee24a9096a288798"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b4b4fda34e535756f9e774fb2d09c4537b7dfd1c"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/23afcd52af06880c6c913a0ad99022b8937b575c"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/645267906944a9aeec9d5c56ee24a9096a288798"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b4b4fda34e535756f9e774fb2d09c4537b7dfd1c"}], "sourceIdentifier": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "vulnStatus": "Analyzed", "weaknesses": [{"description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-908"}], "source": "nvd@nist.gov", "type": "Primary"}]}
